Wonder if this is a dead end email address?
This could be the reason it's been several days and I still haven't gotten a response.

I wouldn't say it's a dead-end...but it IS the Japanese site. Very possible the CSR that saw it just chose not to respond...
The petition will (or is supposed to) be emailed directly to [email protected] immediately when we reach 100. But I'll be forwarding it to [email protected] as well.
Keep signing!

We got to 100. I have emailed the petition to the North America distributor and CC'd Japan.
I will also tweet to @zoomfx.
If anybody can think of anything else...
EDIT: Tweet sent. RT at will.

I just forwarded my original email I sent to [email protected] to [email protected]. I'll see if I get a response. Thank you for the additional contact.
UPDATE - I received an email from Jesse Nissenbaum from Zoom-North America. We were not brushed off...The dialog has begun. He said that he and the 'appropriate parties' will discuss this today.
Up to 113 signatures overnight. Please keep sharing and getting people to sign the petition. The more 'legs' this has, and the longer it keeps getting interest, the better is is for us.

Signed for 115, would buy this if it had a bit more functionality. As is, there aren't enough features that I would use to justify the expense.
Thank you for signing the petition.
What features would you like on the B3 to justify buying it? I think that is the next thing we need to discuss. Maybe we should start a new thread on what improvements we would like to see. Perhaps we can generate a list and send it to Zoom before they contemplate creating an update.
I have forwarded the link to this particular thread to them. This would probably be a very good place to list your wants.
This was the V2.0 for the G3 on 7/13/2012
Released as following function update version.
1. Supported 6 effects operation.
2. Added the auto save function ON/OFF setting.
3. Added 9 types of amp modeling sound.
This was V2.10 for the G3 on 5/31/2013
Released as following bug fix and function update version.
1. When using internal RHYTHM, hi-hat does not sound sometimes with particular TEMPO setting.
2. Supported Windows 8.
3. Supported USB 3.0.
Of those, I would like to see:
1. Supported 6 effects operation
2. Added the auto save function ON/OFF setting
(the others, save for the 9 types of amp modeling) were updated with our V1.10)
Here's my attempt at a consolidated list - from what I've read on here to what's been added to the petition. I will add/update as things are discovered and suggested.
1. Support 6+ effects operation
2. Add auto save function ON/OFF setting
3. Rhythm customization, including odd time signatures. New rhythm patterns.
4. Updated amp/cab sims, if available
5. Updated effect sims as per the MS-70CDR
6. Ability to search effects per type, rather than scrolling through all of them.
7. Tuner Mute to be selectable as default - Bypass is current default.
8. Make the 011-Splitter effect stereo. Low on the left, hi on the right. Crossover for stereo rigs or 2-channel recording.
9. Add an effect level balance as per the MS-60B.
10. Independent adjustment of cab simulations to 1/4" and XLR outputs (ie: no cab sim sent to bass guitar rig, but sim sent to mixing desk)
11. More intuitive controls for rhythm functions when using looper. Ability to change rhythms or rhythm volume 'on-the-fly' while looping. Ability to go back and forth between effects and rhythm control without stopping the rhythm track.
12. Global input level with clip indicator.

Something very very simple. Make the 011-Splitter effect stereo. Low on the left, hi on the right.
It would turn the effect into a great crossover.

I would like to see:
1. 6 effects per patch!!!!!!!!!!
2. The updates for bass from the MS-60B that added a level balance to many of the effects. Especially; all the overdrive and distortion effects, Bass GEQ, Bass PEQ, Bass Cry, Bass Chorus, Bass Detune, Bass Flanger.
3. Some newer effects from the MS-70CDR; clone chorus, auto pan, lo-fi delay, just about all the reverbs. Especially; gate verb, reverse verb, dyna verb, holy flerb, cave verb, shimmer verb. Yeah, just about all of the verbs are good.
4. New amp sim. I would like something modern and something dirty. The overdrive channel from the Fender 100T would get my vote.
5. More rhythm loops for the drum machine would always be nice.

Here are a few on my list of improvements:
1. Cabinet Simulation of the Amps: The ability to adjust the “cab” mix in the ¼” out and XLR separately.
2. A global input level with clip indicator (so one knows how hot the signal is to the mixer). I've had some problems trying to find the sweet spot where the signal is strong enough but not distorting the channel in the mixer.
3. More amp simulations like (Orange, Trace Elliot, Ashdown, Genz Benz, Mesa Boogie, etc). The G3 has 22 amp models compared to the B3’s 12 amp models.
4. The ability to get back to the rhythm without having to stop and start. For example, if I'm using the Looper, start the rhythm, click "home" for the pedals and want to go back to the rhythm to adjust the level or tempo, I have to stop and restart the rhythm.

Just be nice. Thinking about Line 6 and their reaction to the bass market - drop it completely.
